Abstract: This paper investigates the parity concept in knotoids in and in in relation with virtual knots. We show that the virtual closure map is not surjective and give specific examples of virtual knots that are not in the image. We introduce a planar version of the parity bracket polynomial for knotoids in . By using the Nikonov/Manturov theorem on minimal diagrams of virtual knots we prove a conjecture of Turaev showing that minimal diagrams of knot-type knotoids have zero height.
