Compared analysis of time-like hyperon form factors

Data on hyperon form factors recently obtained from annihilation reactions are compared each other, and to proton and neutron form factors, in terms of two kinematical variables: the transferred momentum square, $q^2$, and the modulus $P$ of the relative momentum between the outgoing baryons. They are critically discussed in terms of possible correlated structures. The present status of the time-like form factor data for baryons is described and suggestions are given on the reactions and the kinematical range where data are desirable in order to clarify the arisen questions.
