Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a set of guiding principles for using open sources to estimate the scale of migration movements, specifically to inform time-sensitive policy decisions in contexts of unfolding crises and the COVID-19 pandemic.5 We focus on movements towards the EU. Our aim is not to uncover the full truth, which would require more robust research, but rather to best approximate, to inform practitioners responding to emergencies under time and intelligence constraints.
