What is the @ symbol meaning in require?

Recently I've seen many require('@XXX'), like

const PubSub = require(`@google-cloud/pubsub`);

what is this @ meaning? where can I find the syntax?

NPM allows users to organize packages into organization scopes.

The @google-cloud part is the scope and pubsub is the package name.

Organizing Packages docs explain it much better.
