What is a bib file and how do I open a bib file?

A BIB file is a document enlisting reference list, which is formatted with the use of BibTex formatting and often used with the preparation of LaTex documents. BibTex was created in 1985 and is primarily written in WEB/Pascal. The last version that was released was in the year 1988 and the latest was in the year 2010, which constitute a 22-year inactive state. During this absence, several changes were published, namely the reimplementation of bibTex to BibTeXU which support the UTF-8 set of characters, reimplementation of bibTex to bibtex8 that supports 8-bit character set, complete reimplementation from bibTex to CL-BibTeX in Common Lisp, which allows bibtex.bst files directly and capable of converting it to human-readable Lisp.lbst file, bibTex to MLBibTex, which focuses on multilingual features. The platform used for this application is cross-platform. The format typically used is based according to style file and generating LaTex Formatting commands.
