How do you Invest lump sum bonuses

Curious about what others do as I find myself every year wondering about the best way to deploy lump sum bonuses 

How do you usually go about it? Dump it all in one go / park in interest paying account and deploy over time etc?

any empirical studies that DCA'ing performs better than actually just buying all at once regardless of price?
