Compare the the following sideways table, once with class svjour3 and once with class article. Why is the table squashed to the left border when using svjour3? What is the best way to correct it?

    Welcome to TeX.SE. Please reduce your document to the minimal versio n that has this issue. Especially the inclusion of the .eps file is not necessary here for your problem. You're trying to squeeze 15 columns with a lot of numbers into the \linewidth of your document, that's too much

  • Why is this thought to be about rotating text in a table? If you typeset the table you will see that is not the problem or a conceivable solution. It's just a crazy long table with too many columns to fit nicely on the page. Rotating text won't help!.

Your basic problem is solved (and explained) in answer to question problem-about-table-rotating.

Off-topic: I would redesign table as follows:

  • use siunitx for formatting columns with numbers, In this I would make exception for huge integer numbers)
  • use rounding capabilities of siunitx package in round numbers to three decimals
  • use booktabs' rules for making table looks more "professional"
