Assessing undercounting in the official statistics on migration flows at a country level is a crucial step to understand and model international migration data. Here, we discuss different sources of information on country-specific undercounting and we propose a novel data-driven approach for their evaluation as well for combining them into a final classification of each country. The results of this assessment are shown in the UndercountMigScores Shiny application, which can provide multiple options for estimating undercounting.
