Where node **43000** catalogues where property knowledge is **distributed** (YouTube channels, podcasts, newsletters, mainstream media), node 44000 catalogues where it is **produced**. The same real-world entity can legitimately appear in both — a research institute that also publishes a newsletter is tracked once in each branch, cross-linked rather than duplicated. 2The Three Branches [44100 →University Research Centres & Institutes**12 centres and programs** catalogued across Australian universities with a dedicated housing, property or urban-research focus.](https://australianproperty.network/apn-codex/series-40000/series-44000/series-44100/) [44200 →Independent & Policy Research Organisations**6 organisations** catalogued — independent think tanks and research institutes with a housing or property policy program.](https://australianproperty.network/apn-codex/series-40000/series-44000/series-44200/) [44300 →Individual Academics & Researchers**7 researchers** catalogued — named academics leading a qualifying 44100 or 44200 research program, or independently meeting the objective inclusion bar.](https://australianproperty.network/apn-codex/series-40000/series-44000/series-44300/) 3How Entities Are Included Universities, research centres and policy organisations are catalogued only where they run a genuinely dedicated housing, property or urban-research program — occasional coverage or a passing mention isn't enough, and organisations with only incidental interest in the sector are left out. Individual academics and researchers must currently hold a real institutional or organisational appointment, and either lead a named research program already catalogued here or have a track record of relevant published research from the last five years, together with a stable public professional profile (an institutional page and/or an ORCID identifier). Profiles of named individuals state only publicly verifiable professional facts — affiliation, role and research record — never a characterisation of their views or opinions.
