	abstract = {In this article Patrick Juola addresses stagnancy in digital humanities. Juola argues that, even though the discipline has been around for over forty years, digital humanities is still considered to be an emerging sub-discipline of the larger humanities. Juola acknowledges that this presents major problems for digital humanities scholars because tenure-track positions are rare, and digital humanities publications are significantly under-read and under-valued. Juola analyses these "patterns of neglect" and tries to identify their cause. Juola argues that a lack of participation and a lack of awareness are two main factors. Juola speculates that the lack of awareness and use of digital humanities tools is motivated by a mismatch between the tools needed/wanted by the humanities generally and the tools being produced. Juola suggests that digital humanities scholars focus on creating a "killer application": a tool whose uses justify its development and support. Juola identifies a couple of major areas that he thinks could use a super tool. To conclude, Juola advocates for the continued financial support of the digital humanities in order to fuel the creation of a "killer application".},
