History


The Polish Academy of Sciences PAN, is a Polish state sponsored institution of higher learning, headquartered in Warsaw, that was established by the merger of earlier learned societies, including the Polish Academy of Learning (Polska Akademia Umiejętności, abbreviated PAU), with its seat in Kraków, and the Warsaw Society of Friends of Learning, which had been founded in the late 18th century.[2]


The Polish Academy of Sciences functions as a learned society acting through an elected corporation of leading scholars and research institutions. The Academy has also, operating through its committees, become a major scientific advisory body. Another aspect of the Academy is its coordination and overseeing of numerous (several dozens) research institutes. PAN institutes employ over 2,000 people, and are funded by about a third of the Polish government's budget for science.[3]

Adding quotations to stringified JSON object values

0 My stringified object data doesn't include quotation marks around object values, which errors when attempting JSON.parse() : '{ "affiliation": CORPORATE, "userId": 75c35d1c-5d12-4485-8fa8-b2f1551a3e6e }' I need the string to be: '{ "affiliation": "CORPORATE", "userId": "75c35d1c-5d12-4485-8fa8-b2f1551a3e6e" }' I'm using this regex to add quotes to the object keys: var newStr = str.replace(/(['"])?([a-z0-9A-Z_]+)(['"])?:/g, '"$2": '); For instance: '{ affiliation: CORPORATE }' to '{ "affiliation": CORPORATE }' There are only string values in my data, so I don't need to check value types.
