It is easy to understand what the ICMJE Disclosure Form is asking to be disclosed.
No
Comments: I cannot even GET to the ICMJE disclosure because of all of the garbage associated with trying to figure out how to navigate 3 pages of Adobe acrobat ads. I edited an Elsevier journal for 10 years and we did adopted reasonable checks on manuscripts but all of the extra garbage these days will stop many new authors who have no idea what MOST of the ICMJE statements are. Being afraid of going to jail for choosing the wrong one is a reality.

Yes
Comments: Please excuse this comment it is entirely off topic. Please take into consideration when saving the newly proposed ICMJE PDF form that it be saved/downloaded in a generic PDF format. I do not have Adobe Acrobat as my PDF program as a result some text is being cut off on the original ICMJE PDF form. Thank you for your attention.

No
Comments: It is comparably easy for Healthcare professionals to understand the proposed ICMJE Disclosure Form but difficult for common man to understand and interpret the information.
I have one query regarding utility of this form. Will this form be displayed along with published article on website of journal or journal management will supply to anyone who request for disclosure related to particular article. How confidentiality will be maintained.

Comments: ICMJE Disclosure Form Comments

1. Is ‘Name of the relationship or activity’ column header intended to mean the name of the entity? As worded, I interpret it literally to mean the type of relationship or activity, but I don’t see another column for the name of entity so I am assuming that this is the intent.
2. How should the form be completed for the situation where a company has provided funding for the work reported- so it is directly related; but also has provided funding for prior studies within 3 years- should both the ‘directly related’ and ‘topically related’ columns be marked ‘yes’ or does directly related supersede topically related and only one should be selected in each row?
3. If for the work reported a company provided both funding and equipment, would the company be listed twice under grants/contracts and under receipt of equipment?
4. If a company provided equipment for the work reported as well as for prior studies within 3 years, would ‘receipt of equipment…’ be answered yes for both directly related and topically related?
5. As ‘directly related’ is defined (supported the work), it does not seem like most of the rows are possible to answer yes (continued below)

Yes
Comments: and it may cause confusion if yes/no requires a response for directly related—the only ones ‘directly related’ seems like it could apply are grants/contracts, consulting fees, and receipt of equipment… The rest seem like they could only be topically related by definition.
6. A more logical order for the form would be to move ‘receipt of equipment…’ to be row 2’
7. In most multi-center clinical trials, there is a study initiation meeting for the investigators irrespective of funding source which could be NIH, foundation, or industry. Would this require the row for ‘support for attending meeting’ to be ‘yes’, or is this intended just to refer to travel outside of the work reported?
8. For the row, ‘participation on a Data Safety Monitoring Board, Advisory Board…’, I suggest consideration be given to moving Data Safety Monitoring Board to the subsequent row. I feel that it is quite different than serving on an Ad Board or Guideline Panel. Additionally, an individual serving on DSMB should virtually never be an author of the submitted work (unless it happens to be some type of methodologic paper about the DSMB and not the study).
