    It is easy to understand what the ICMJE Disclosure Form is asking to be disclosed.
    • Yes
    Comments: Yes, although the form requires close reading to ensure that users don't either declare relationships from a 3-year timeframe for both direct and topical sections, or for a project lifetime for both categories. However, the move to full disclosure reflects the approach that many authors seem to have taken for some time. Personally, I don't like the term 'problematic influence'. I think this could be changed to 'influence' without any real issue.

    The information collected by the ICMJE Disclosure Form is appropriate.

    Comments: As stated above, it reflects the approach that many authors seem to have taken for some time.

    Comments: As an employee of an academic hospital, I receive essentially a salary for my work. Still my department receives research grants and contracts, including from industry, or invoices expert work or lectures that I give. Sometimes I am the one who finds such opportunities. I do not receive any money from this, but it surely increases my visibility and the resources of my department. The proposed form is fairly ambiguous regarding this situation, it suggests that I should report such links, but the only way to do this tends to indicate that I received personally the corresponding resources. The root distinction between self-accepted advantages and contribution to the wealth of one's institution should be made clear!

    Comments: The information on each relationship or activity should include a field designating WHO is actually involved in it, between the author, his/her department, institution, company, etc.

    Comments: Thank you very much for your valuable work! In the introductory part, "Guidance and definitions", I would stress that a COI should be reported irrespective of the amount of the grant, in particular without any lower limit on monetary grants. Kind regards, Dorothea Kesztyüs

    Comments: This is a much improved disclosure form. The information requested has been made clearer for authors, especially by the distinction of direct and topically related CoIs.

    Comments: It’d be useful to clarify the exact meaning that the word “topically” has in this context
