I struggle with research work allotted to me because I try and include everything that I can possibly find in my note. This, of course, takes me a little longer to submit my work. I was wondering what the perfect balance should be. How far should you research so that it is comprehensive enough that it would be useful to the associate who has given me the work, but at the same time, being mindful that it needs to be submitted within a decent time frame.
Also what is the best format to submit research work in?

Thanks.
