Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The main aim of  the this work is to present "Analysis of Factors Electromagnetic Compatibility on Electronic 2 Devices Using PLS-SEM Method: A Case Study in Vietnam". Few of the concerns are:

1. This work seems as a review paper but not an article. As in this work the literature work comparison has been discussed while the authors own contribution is somehow not justified. So as per the reviewer's opinion, this is review article. The authors should clear this point. 

2. Moreover, the Figure 3 quality should be improved. As its blurry; and same throught the review paper. 

Author Response

First, we would like to express our greatest gratitude to you, whose valuable comments made on this paper have significantly improved the quality of this paper. We have addressed all the comments made in the new version of the paper and will list the changed made item-by-item in response to these comments below.


Point 1:
This work seems as a review paper but not an article. As in this work the literature work comparison has been discussed while the authors own contribution is somehow not justified. So as per the reviewer's opinion, this is review article. The authors should clear this point.

Response 1: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have checked and revised according to the reviewer's request. Please see Chapter 2 from page 3 to page 5

 

Point 2: Moreover, the Figure 3 quality should be improved. As its blurry; and same throught the review paper.

Response 2: Thanks a lot for your comments. We've seriously improved the clarity of the figure, please see Figure 3 on page 14.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments on “Analysis of Factors Electromagnetic Compatibility on Electronic Devices Using PLS-SEM Method: A Case Study in Vietnam

It is a very interesting work about the EMC factors of IoTs devices in Vietnam. The authors do lots of work and the method is significant with high novelty. It is better to present the method part unambiguously for readers. A better way of stating these type tables could be seen in other published papers.

1. The title "analysis of EMC factors on "would be better.

2. Electro Magnetic and Electromagnetic should be consistent throughout the whole paper.

3. In the introduction part, it would be better to add the application or theory of the PLS-DMS in other domains.

4. The second part can move the literature review to the introduction part, and put the hypothesis at the beginning of section 3.

5. In line 305, according to the TCVN, QCVN represented by RCVN is better.

6. In line 302 and 323, there are two "3.1" subsection.

7. In line 325, the paper is missing Table B and line 551 it missed the Table B1.

First, we would like to express our greatest gratitude to you, whose valuable comments made on this paper have significantly improved the quality of this paper. We have addressed all the comments made in the new version of the paper and will list the changed made item-by-item in response to these comments below.

Point 1: The title "analysis of EMC factors on "would be better.

Response 1: Thanks a lot for your comments. Many thanks for giving us a very good comment and We have revised. Please to see page 1.

 

Point 2: Electro Magnetic and Electromagnetic should be consistent throughout the whole paper.

Response 2: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have already checked and updated the word "Electromagnetic" to be consistent throughout the whole paper. Please pages 1, 3, 5, 6, 15, 17, 36, and 37.

 

Point 3: In the introduction part, it would be better to add the application or theory of the PLS-DMS in other domains.

Response 3: Thanks a lot for your comments. Our study is using PLS-SEM method. We think, Reviewer suggested we "add the application or theory of the PLS-SEM in other domains" and not PLS-DMS (Partial Least Squares Density Modeling System). and We consider it an interesting proposition. Please see page 3.

 

Point 4: The second part can move the literature review to the introduction part, and put the hypothesis at the beginning of section 3.

Response 4: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have revised at the suggestion of Reviewers. Please see page 3, 4

 

Point 5: In line 305, according to the TCVN, QCVN represented by RCVN is better.

Response 5: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have already revised it to RCVN. Please see page 7.

 

Point 6: In line 302 and 323, there are two "3.1" subsection.

Response 6: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have checked and revised. Please see page 10, 13

 

Point 7: In line 325, the paper is missing Table B and line 551 it missed the Table B1.

Response 7: Thanks a lot for your comments. We have checked and revised. Please see page 10, 16

Reviewer 3 Report

In the article it is necessary to describe in more detail the essence of the method. Not just indicate expressions and figures, but conduct a comparative analysis of the methods used by the authors.

This applies to sections 3.3 and 3.4. it makes sense to reduce some of the material according to standards.

It is enough to provide references to standards in the article without describing them for 15-20 pages.

There are a great many works on the analysis of the requirements for the quality of electricity.

Please translate the standards sections into a literature review and shorten them to a page.

With such a presentation of the material, the reader does not understand what the scientific novelty of the results is.

Figures 2 and 3 need to be described in more detail, otherwise it is absolutely unclear how the results are related to the method that you presented in the article.

Similar to Figure 4. In the conclusions, general phrases are presented, which again refer to the standards, and not to the developed method.

The first paragraph describes how the developed method is functional and applicable in general to other sciences. There are no results in the work that could confirm this.

The conclusions in the article are in no way related to the material presented and the topic of the article. It is necessary to provide data of the system on which the research was carried out.

It is absolutely impossible to understand the object of research from the article. In more detail, the article requires significant improvements. 

The work is devoted to the actual problem of electromagnetic compatibility in low voltage electrical networks with sources of distortion. The paper presents a comparative analysis of standards for the quality of electrical energy. Such work is essential for specialists who are engaged in standardization in the field of electric power quality. The amount of work presented in the article is huge, but there are spelling and grammatical errors that in no way diminish the results presented. The article is recommended for publication.
