A continuously updated academic database of world religious demography, edited by Gina A. Zurlo and published by Brill, hosted for public access by the Association of Religion Data Archives; its 2021 estimate places the global Jain population at approximately 5.3 million, notably higher than the Indian census count alone because it estimates the worldwide diaspora that the Indian census cannot count.

A named academic demographic database, edited by Gina A. Zurlo of Boston University's Center for the Study of Global Christianity and published by Brill, hosted publicly through the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA, founded 1997 at Penn State); this is the same database Pew Research Center's own 2012 Global Religious Landscape study names as its source for estimating smaller world religions it declined to estimate itself.
