First of all, Research isn't like getting other trade skill items and components. And it's also nothing like named loot. Research components drop off monsters, regardless of class or type. Level is what dictates what drops what.
From level 16 to level 49, all INT casters have researched spells, which components drop from mobs.
For instance, lets say you want to make the level 16 wizard spell "Pillar of Fire". The spell requires 1 Rune of Proximity and 1 Rune of Nagafen to be combined in a Lexicon.
In order to get those runes, you have to kill monsters which level is 16 to 19. Level 20 mobs drop level 20 research components, so they won't drop level 16 runes.
Now, the rules have slightly changed with the new research recipes in LoY. Now you can make many Kunark, Velious, and Luclin spells without needing to camp for them, but like I said, the rules have changed.
The new research system uses many of the same runes for different spells of different levels.
Example:
Say you want to make the wizard spell Garrison's Superior Sundering (GSS), because it drops only from a few named monsters in Luclin, and you just don't have the friends to complete the task. You can make GSS with the combination of 4 new runes:[list=1][*]Rune of Ellipse: also used in Inferno of Al`Kabor, Plainsight, Retribution of Al`Kabor, Vengence of Al`Kabor. Since Inferno of Al`Kabor is a level 53 spell, you'll likely find it on level 53+ mobs. More specifically, you'd likely find the Rune of Ellipse on mobs level 53, 55, 56, 59 or 60.[*]Rune of Glint: Also used in Draught of Jiva and Marker's Discord. Since Draught of Jiva is a level 55 spell, you'll likely find the Rune of Glint on mobs level 55+, but more specifically on mobs level 55, 56, or 60.[*]Rune of Corsucating: Also used in making Sunstrike. Since both GSS and SS are level 60 spells, it's very likely you'll only find this on level 60 mobs. [*]Rune of Scintillation: This rune is only used for GSS, so you'll only find this on level 60 mobs.[/list

Level dictates what mobs will drop particular research components. Because of this, making lists of where specific research components drop is a waste of time. Instead, make a list of places where the mobs level will usually result in research components for level specific research items. An Example would be:
Najena: Level 16-29 research components
Solusek's Eye: Level 20-34 research components
Nagafen's Lair: Level 34-44 research components
Plane of Hate: Level 49-58 research components
Vex Thal: Level 51-60 research components
It's much easier looking at the level ranges of zones than compiling all the drop information from specific mobs in specific zones.
