I was looking up some information on wikipedia and came across an unexplained notation on the wikipedia page for scandium. If you look at the vapor pressure temperature for 100 Pa, you see it's "(2006)", for 2006 K. My question is: what do the parentheses mean?
In accounting, the parentheses mean a negative number. In my past scientific experience, using parentheses like this has meant either an approximate number or an extrapolated/interpolated number as opposed to a measured number.
But I'm at a loss for figuring out what the wikipedia pages mean with this notation. I've perused their style guides, but have come up empty.
Does anyone know what exactly they mean with this notation?
