Modern humanities are in an ambiguous situation. Their organization is experiencing a radical challenge from the expansion of science-based assessment methods from modern business. We are talking about evaluat-ing the results
of researchers' work on indicators (KPI) from scientometrics. As a result, the evaluation subject is not the content of the research result, but their popularity and relevance to dominant views and approaches. At the same time, digitalization and related information and communication technologies are a great achievement of civilization. Therefore, it is all the more important and useful to resist the thoughtless (if not insane) digitized bureaucracy using the digitization itself. This article is an attempt not to criticize digital methods, but to consider the possibilities
of using blockchain technology, its advantages and the problems it generates. We are talking about such opportunities as transparent self-organization of scientific communities, assessing the contribution and its priority, encouraging
researchers. At the same time, the implementation of the blockchain implies the interest of a critically significant group of scientists with a high reputation. It is equally important to demonstrate the convenience and effectiveness of scientific work using the blockchain. It is important to pro-pose and discuss approaches to methods for assessing the quality of humanitarian and interdisciplinary studies that are adequate to the scientific practice itself, arouse the general confidence of scientists.
