Abstract: The FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and their adoption as best practices in data management have increased the publication of research data and associated metadata. The relevance of clinical care data for further in-depth research on the virus and its consequences has been brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic and the global efforts to combat it. This paper presents a practical FAIRification workflow for the transformation and publication of clinical research data into FAIR (meta)data. It is an extended version of a practical FAIRification workflow approach validated in the Virus Outbreak Data Network Brazil (VODAN BR) pilot. Furthermore, it discusses how the FAIRification process contributes to reproducible clinical research data and presents lessons learned with the development of this process.
