research on location of submit buttons

I am hoping that someone can direct me to some definitive research that has been done about the best position of form action buttons (submit buttons) on a web page with a form. I am testing an application built by our development team and the submit buttons (multiple possible actions) in some cases, are NOT located at the bottom of the form. They are in the left hand column which also serves as the navigation area. "Ouch" you say? I know. Now I need some research to back up my suggestion that it be changed.

Thanks for any links to studies/white papers written on this subject.
