Human migrations, ever accelerated in a globalised world, is a growing topic of scientific investigation that calls for novel analytic methodologies able to disintricate the dynamic migratory flows across the world. This contribution studies several decades of global migration data from a network perspective. Tools developed in various fields such as PageRank, community detection or gravity models are analysed and applied to diverse aspects of migrations.
