We summarize recent developments in the understanding of nucleon structure. New data on F2, R and F2c, over a wide range of Q2 and x, are described. Conventional leading twist NLO perturbative QCD gives an excellent account of all the new data with Q2 above a GeV, leaving very little room for either higher twists or higher logarithms. We summarize the current status of NLO fits, and the determination of the gluon distribution and the strong coupling constant from structure function data. Finally we consider some of the theoretical issues raised by the new data.
