I'm looking to gather insights on best practices for collecting financial disclosures during the abstract submission process.
Currently, our process is quite simple. Authors complete a single checkbox on behalf of all authors indicating whether any relevant relationships exist, along with a general category (e.g., industry, government, etc.). We do not currently collect disclosures at the individual author level or require detailed information at the time of submission.
As we're seeing an increase in abstracts involving authors with industry relationships, we're re-evaluating whether this approach is sufficient and aligned with current best practices. While our abstracts themselves are not part of CME, the top 20 selected abstracts are later presented orally, and those presenters are required to complete a full individual financial disclosure form for CME compliance at that stage.
I'd really appreciate hearing how other organizations are handling this. Thank you so much!
