Disputed The submitted PDF URL is fetchable and does contain the passage in the abstract, but the exact source text begins “Therefore, several key factors contribute ...,” so the stored quote omits “Therefore,” and changes the capitalization of “several.” More importantly, the source is a standard multi-author journal article listing C.O. Afolabi, J.D. Adekunle, M.I. Oyeniran, and many others; M.I. Oyeniran is only one coauthor, not the sole attributed speaker. Because this platform cannot verify a multi-author article quote as a single-author quote, the attribution is disputed.
