Qazaqzeh–Qublan–Jaradat crossing-number conjecture for quasi-alternating links

Let $L$ be a quasi-alternating link, and let $c(L)$ denote its crossing number and $\det(L)$ its determinant. Qazaqzeh–Qublan–Jaradat conjecture. Every quasi-alternating link $L$ satisfies

$$c(L) \leq \det(L).$$

The paper verifies this inequality for quasi-alternating links arising as dealternator extensions of almost alternating diagrams representing quasi-alternating links, but the general conjecture remains open in the supplied context.
