This is not an issue for the librarian group, librarians are volunteers that edit book data and do not work on overall site design.You can try posting to the Goodreads Feedback Group or the Goodreads Author Feedback Group

I have a question about how "average rating" is calculated. It seems that my average is being calculated based on the ratings given to books in which I only have a chapter appearing. I would prefer that only the ratings for the books for which I am the sole author/edited be counted. Is that possible?
For example, in many cases, I am only one of many contributors to an edited collection. The rating given to that edited collection therefore really doesn't rely just on my one chapter.
Thank you.
