Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have made a measurement of R=sigma(e+e- ->hadrons)/sigma(e+e- ->mu+mu-) =3.56+/-0.01+/-0.07 at ECM=10.52 GeV. This implies a value for the strong coupling constant of alpha_s(10.52 GeV)=0.20+/-0.01+/-0.06, or alpha_s(M_Z)=0.13+/-0.005+/-0.03.

Perturbative QCD fitting of KEDR and BESIII $e^+e^-$ data for R(s) and $\alpha_s$ determination
Combined fits of KEDR and BESIII R(s) data yield alpha_s(M_Z) = 0.1179, 0.1221, and 0.1312 at NLO, NNLO, and NNNLO, demonstrating strong dependence on perturbative truncation order.
