Abstract
In this talk, I summarize a global analysis on electron-quark contact interactions using the updated NC DIS data at HERA, Drell-yan production at the Tevatron, total hadronic cross sections at LEP, atomic parity violation measurement, low energy e-nucleon scattering data, and the ν-nucleon scattering data. The global data do not show any evidence for contact interactions. Thus, we obtain limits of 8--15 TeV on the compositeness scale, which are significantly better than those published by each individual experiment
