    "abstract": "The ribbonlength of a link is a geometric invariant defined as the infimum of the ratio of the length to the width of a folded ribbon realization of the link. In this paper, we prove that if an alternating link admits an alternating diagram with a bipartite dual graph, then its ribbonlength satisfies $$ \\mathrm{Rib}(L) \\le \\sqrt{3} \\, c(L). $$ Using this result, we present improved upper bounds on the ribbonlength for several knots and links with small crossing numbers, and determines the exact ribbonlength of the Hopf link to be $2\\sqrt{3}$.",
