Just one more turn Honey!
The key to research is money. Get as much of it as a can. 
The best thing to do is to road every tile that is being worked in the city radius. The next best thing is to trade stuff with other civs. You can sell tech, luxuries, resources and even diplomatic/military treaties for gold per turn (or lump sum) exchanges.
It's not uncommon for me to trade the above items for a combined income from other civs for 500+ gpt (gold per turn) on regent and monarch. I've heard that the income from other civs gets even more insane on emporer and deity where a single civ will offer 400+ gpt for a solitary tech

-.- they trade too damn quick for my taste. but after a while, u'll understand or at least able to predict their research pattern. SO in short: DO research those techs that u think they will not research.
Why? To exchange for other tech of course! I got off luckily a few times, getting a tech from research, trade it for another and used it to trade for another. So it's like I researched 3 for the price of 1! Having Scientific trade is great too! Freebie tech per Age.
Avoid dead end techs: Meaning, Music Theory and etc that branches to nowhere UNLESS other techs have been researched by the AI. Trade that for a better one.
Great Library makes it much more easier on the early stage. It allows you to focus on Monarchy / Republic without worring abt missing techs. Best thing: U DOn'T Need to trade techs till it becomes obsolete. U save money AND research time. It's still my fav Wonder since Civ I
A tip. Go for broke when u research. a deficit of 10-50 gpt is bearable. when 1 turn is left on your research, crank down the Science tax down to 10% it'll help u gain back your money (25%-50%) lost when researching.
Another way is to keep the AI Wayyyy behind you after you get G-Library. DO NOT Trade techs you have! . KEEP IT. and laugh at them as you focus on your teching. Trade only when you really need the Wonder / Resources.
