AFAIK the dot product and the scalar product are the same thing...
Here's an extract from the wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org):
"The dot product of two vectors a and b (also called the inner product, or,
since its result is a scalar, the scalar product) is denoted by a·b or
sometimes by (a, b) "
I've also checked some other sources, and found the same result everywhere.
