Abstract: The aim of this article is to give a characterization of strongly quasipositive quasi-alternating links and detect new classes of strongly quasipositive Montesinos links and non-strongly quasipositive Montesinos links. In this direction, we show that, if L is an oriented quasi-alternating link with a quasi-alternating crossing c such that L0 is alternating (where L0 has the induced orientation), then L is definite if and only if it is strongly quasipositive (up to mirroring). We also show that if L is an oriented quasi-alternating link with a quasi-alternating crossing c such that L0 is fibred or more generally has a unique minimal genus Seifert surface (where L0 has the induced orientation), then L is definite if and only if it is strongly quasipositive (up to mirroring).
