Abstract
The current mandate of the LHC experiments is to precisely determine the properties of the Higgs boson, one of the major interests being the top-Yukawa coupling ($y_t$) measurement. The Run 2 data have provided evidence of $\mathrm{t\bar{t}H}$ production at the LHC which is sensitive to $y_t^2$ at the tree level. In contrast, the $\mathrm{tHq}$ process provides information on the relative sign of $y_t$ with respect to the Higgs to vector boson coupling ($g_{HVV}$). According to the Standard Model (SM), the cross section of the $\mathrm{tHq}$ process is very low even at 13 TeV centre of mass energy ($\sqrt{s}$). However, in case of anomalous Higgs couplings the cross section may be enhanced and be detected with a limited amount of integrated luminosity ($L$). Results are presented from Run 2 measurements of the $\mathrm{tHq}$ process using LHC data collected by the CMS experiment. Future prospects of the search are discussed in the context of High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC).

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
