We show that the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) scenario of
proton-philic spin-dependent inelastic dark matter can still provide a viable
explanation of the observed DAMA effect in compliance with the constraints from
other experiments. We also show that, although the COSINE-100 collaboration has
recently tested the DAMA effect using the same target material, for the time
being the comparison between DAMA and COSINE-100 still depends on the
particle-physics model.
