I am a beginner in Latex and finding it very difficult to handle the table (compared to MS Word). So I need some guidance from the experts here.
I am trying to write a paper using springer template (Download the template here)\documentclass[twocolumn]{svjour3}. I like to include a comparison table in landscape mode on a fresh page. However, when I am compiling it, the table moves to the next page trying to occupy the first column of the next page garbling everything
. I tried to use \pagebreak[4] with no effect. I am giving the MWC that I could make with my beginner's knowledge. Any alteration, smart look will be thankfully acknowledged along with the solution of the main problem.

Please help.
\smallor a smaller size before the tabular – David Carlisle Feb 26 '21 at 19:05sidewaystable*instead ofsidewaystable. Additionally, I suggest adjusting the column widths according to their contents in order to save space and to reduce the amount of wasted white space. I'd also try to abbraviate the entries in column 4 by using "1" and ">1" instead of the current entries. – leandriis Feb 26 '21 at 19:16
