Performances of different shuffling methods in terms of four indicators. We report the fraction of data sets for which a given combination of the shuffling method and the community detection method yields an indicator’s value closest to that for the original network. Each bar refers to an indicator, i.e., average $k$-shell’s difference, $\mathrm{\Delta }⟨k_{\text{s}}⟩$, degeneracy’s difference, $\mathrm{\Delta }D$, Jaccard score, J, and Kendall’s tau, ${\tau }_K$.
