Scientific Journals of the Maritime University of Szczecin, Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Morskiej w Szczecinie, 48 (120),

The data published in this paper, as well as Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 2 and the associated text were taken from the
Master’s thesis of Ms. Anna Pawłowska supervised by Prof. Jarosław Chmiel of the Faculty of Engineering and Economics
of Transport, the Maritime University of Szczecin. Ms. Kałkowska submitted her paper to the Scientific Journals of
the Maritime University of Szczecin on the 29th of April 2016, and failed to refer to the M.Sc. thesis where she took the
figures and table from. The research results presented by Ms. Kałkowska were generated by means of the DASYLab software
in March 2016 by Ms. Pawłowska in the Faculty’s Lab (Laboratory of Wear Processes), access to this is only granted
for authorised personnel, and Ms. Kałkowska was not authorised. This fact was confirmed by the Dean of the Faculty of
Engineering and Economics of Transport on the 9th of January 2019.
Taking into account the principles of ethics regarding plagiarism and the uncertainty about the completeness
of the list of references, the Editorial Board of the Maritime University of Szczecin has decided to retract
Ms. Kałkowska’s paper.
