Résumé	Multilayer closeness centrality extends the classical closeness centrality measure to networks that contain multiple types of relationships or interaction contexts (layers). Rather than treating each layer in isolation, it computes how quickly a node can reach all others by traversing any combination of available layers, revealing nodes that are structurally efficient connectors across the full network system.	Closeness centrality measures how quickly a node can reach all others in a network by computing the inverse of its average shortest-path distance to every other node. First described by Bavelas (1950) and formally unified by Freeman (1979), it identifies nodes that can spread information or resources efficiently across the entire graph — not merely nodes with many direct contacts.
