    Comments: Much improved--however, there is opportunity for much overlap/redundancy. Will editors sort through these redundancies or publish each disclosure comment?

    • Yes
    Comments: May require refinement/definitions for each horizontal and vertical category.

    Comments: Overall easy, however lack of clear definitions/examples for each category leaves room for interpretation/misunderstanding.

    Comments: Overall, very important. My concern is that the form is so comprehensive that it becomes very long and cumbersome. In our academic institution, we have to provide very regular disclosure updates. It would be nice if the same software could be built to compose a single form that covers the relevant information and still be accepted (i.e., design a database that collects this information for academic or other institutions, then generates the "updated" disclosure form at the click of a button - much like the ScienCV feature in PubMed.

    Comments: It is not fully clear whether items falling into the following two sections should be reported separately if they were funded via a larger grant or contract that was already disclosed in section 1 (Grants/Contracts): (1) Support for attending meetings and/or travel. (2) Receipt of equipment, materials, drugs, writing, or other services. For example, if a grant that is already disclosed under "Grants/Contracts" included funding for: (a) travel to a scientific meeting to present findings from the supported study, and/or (b) materials or drugs for the supported study, should that support also be separately reported in those two sections? Or should items only be disclosed in the two sections in question if they were separately funded from a grant or contract that is NOT disclosed in the "Grants/Contracts" section?
