Scientific Linux is derived from RedHat so their documentation is relevant.

See: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__access.redhat.com_documentation_en-2Dus_red-5Fhat-5Fenterprise-5Flinux_7_&d=DwIFAg&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=fkBozYX7RcIVchRoPu548KWpXo03YWahEur-lhPQePM&s=bXFZPrtDnDh-YRuS84BFB3lkAECZwxJvgduWqThuMNY&e= 

Having said that the upgrade from Scientific Linux 7 will be Centos 8[1] so you might want to consider learning that instead. If you're not specifically looking for the longer term stability that RedHat (and Centos) provide then it's also worth looking at Fedora. It's very up to date and modern and the expense of long term compatibility.
