Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The related titles section of a result currently appears to only return the same title's different formats.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be useful to be clearer on what related titles are. For example, for different formats, this could be named "other formats" and related titles would return titles within a similar subject categorisation.

Describe alternatives you've considered What constitutes related titles could vary. A preliminary way to classify this would be via BIC or THEMA subjects, however in future ML could be used to determine related titles via related sales etc.

For info, on our new WordPress platform, related titles are based on the main BIC (2.1) code, starting with the most specific in the BIC genre hierarchy, and moving up until we have 12 titles. This seems to work quite well, but obviously depends on BIC codes being appropriately defined in Biblio.
