renderscholar

Tired of LLMs citing fake papers? renderscholar is a Google Scholar scraper (inspired by Andrej Karpathy’s rendergit) that pulls real papers, ranks them by relevance/citations/recency, and outputs an HTML file with a Human view for browsing and an LLM view for safe copy-pasting into models.

    - LLM view: copy-paste friendly citations that you can safely feed into a language model

    Why I made it: I kept getting fake references from ChatGPT/Claude when doing literature reviews. I wanted a quick way to gather real citations that I could trust, and then drop them into my workflow.

    Repo: https://github.com/peterdunson/renderscholar

    I’d love feedback—especially from people who would use this for lit reviews, etc and are frustrated with hallucinated citations. Also curious if there are features that would make it more useful.
