Research: focused or spread out?

3) Outside of battles, always make sure u research as much stuff as u can, upgrading the space to accomodate more scientists, and put all scientists onto the most immediate project. Focused research always is better than multiple research. Trust me on this one.

Somewhere I read the opposite, that research was more efficient if spread out over 3 or more areas.

Which is best?

As far as I can tell the game doesn't implement diminishing returns on research, so in theory researching 3 projects one after the other with all your scientists will take the same time as spiting your scientists proportionally among them, but in the former case you'll have the results of the first two projects sooner.

Thanks Dark Rain for the clarification.

I am probably confusing games.
