This somewhat-ridiculous BASH one-liner will create a BibTeX database file (.bib) from a bunch of PDFs via the Crossref API for DOIs, providing the PDF has a DOI on the first page.  As DOI was introduced in 2000, this will probably not work on vintage PDFs.

Setting up a large selection experiment on antibiotic fitness landscapes. I’ve decided to use the Singer ROTOR HDA for consistency and repeatability. The Singer ROTOR HDA uses a pre-sterilized pad system (called RePads) to transfer bacteria between solid or liquid medium. RePads are available in 96, 384, 1536 or 6144 formats.
