Overall, the study is inconsistent and doesn’t live up to its promises. A study evaluating modularity measures should look at additional information to validate it (especially if it is not a formal comparison of multiple metrics). As shown by previous papers on the topic, this additional information could be the correspondence to biological traits in empirical networks (e.g. Martín González et al., 2012), the detection of build-in module structure in simulated networks (e.g. Thébault, 2013) or the demonstration of functional consequences (e.g. by a model). To be useful, the study should be put on a more solid foundation.
