Hi Halima.

Please make a download of the article (in Reseach Gate):

This article use the SmatPLS 2.0 (the free vertion), but it is the same of SmartPLS 3.

The SmatPLS 3 is much better for give the results and it indexs calculated, but the process is the same.

If you have more question, please contact again

Article STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING WITH THE SMARTPLS

SmartPLS 3.0 reports some model fit indices (Chi2, SRMR...). However, authors recommend being cautious with the interpretation of these values. Their development is at first stages and further research is needed.

how to REPORTING Modified Final Model in PLS-SEM THANKS

Can someone please suggest whether it is recommended to use Smart-PLS in case my sample size is 1000? I am not very comfortable using AMOS. Please suggest if Smart-PLS can be used for this large a sample size?

Review section 3 and 4.1.3 in this paper https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2020.102252 . It provides a good template for assessing model-fit in a study using SmartPLS.

Thanks all.
