The paper discusses the function of the diploma as a “letter of guarantee“ for a graduate in history. Besides being a proof of passing the required study curriculum, which can be useful mainly in contact with potential employers, getting hold of a diploma should ensure that the graduate is compatibility with the professional environment. A person with a diploma in history should be sure that there is a highly qualified supervisor and an examination board, ready to confirm his or her professional abilities. Such a person should rely on intense five year socialization to academic writing and reviewing practice, on experience with intense exposure to professional feedback related to quality of argumentation. Last but not least, a history graduate should be oriented in the professional underworld of phoney conferences, predatory scientific journals and fabricated research.
