In the light of the new data on the various neutron and proton electromagnetic form factors taken in recent years, we update the dispersion-theoretical analysis of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors from the mid-nineties. The parametrization of the spectral functions includes constraints from unitarity, perturbative QCD, and recent measurements of the neutron charge radius. We obtain a good description of most modern form factor data, with the exception of the Jefferson Lab data on GEp/GMp in the four-momentum transfer range \(Q^2 = 3 \ldots 6\) GeV2. For the magnetic radii of the proton and the neutron we find rMp = 0.857 fm and rMn = 0.879 fm, which is consistent with the recent determinations using continued-fraction expansions.
