Hi,
A reviewer of my paper is debating the use of PLS based on the article "Partial least squares path modeling: Time for some serious second thoughts" from Ronkko et al. (2016) In order to show the robustness of PLS I am considering estimating the models again with fixed equal item weights. However, I have no clue on how to do that.
Can someone provide me with some advice?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,

Re: PLS with fixed equal item weights?
There are different ways to do that, but the easiest way is the following:
Double click on each construct and choose as Indicator Weighting Mode the Sumscores.
It will show you that you use Sumscores by placing a small "S" inside the construct.
Then just run the normal PLS algorithm, bootstrapping, etc.
