  This study elaborates a text-based metric to quantify the unique position of
stylized scientific research, characterized by its innovative integration of
diverse knowledge components and potential to pivot established scientific
paradigms. Our analysis reveals a concerning decline in stylized research,
highlighted by its comparative undervaluation in terms of citation counts and
protracted peer-review duration. Despite facing these challenges, the
disruptive potential of stylized research remains robust, consistently
introducing groundbreaking questions and theories. This paper posits that
substantive reforms are necessary to incentivize and recognize the value of
stylized research, including optimizations to the peer-review process and the
criteria for evaluating scientific impact. Embracing these changes may be
imperative to halt the downturn in stylized research and ensure enduring
scholarly exploration in endless frontiers.
