Zusammenfassung	Multilayer social network analysis extends classical single-layer network methods to settings where actors are connected through multiple, distinct types of ties — such as friendship, professional collaboration, and online interaction — simultaneously. By modeling each type of relationship as a separate layer and explicitly representing connections across layers, it captures structural complexity that a single aggregated network would hide.	Community detection is a family of graph-partitioning algorithms that discover densely connected sub-groups — communities — within a network. First formalised through the modularity measure by Girvan and Newman (2002), the field advanced rapidly with the Louvain method (Blondel et al., 2008), the Leiden refinement (Traag et al., 2019), and the information-theoretic Infomap approach. All variants answer the same question: which nodes cluster together more tightly among themselves than with the rest of the network?
