"A very impressive research work has been devoted in the last two decades to obtaining fixed point theorems in quasimetric spaces (also called b-metric spaces). Some incorrect and incomplete references with respect to the early developments on fixed point theory in b-metric spaces are though perpetually taking over from the existing publications to the new ones. Starting from this fact, our main aim in this note is threefold: (1) to briefly survey the early developments in the fixed point theory on quasimetric spaces (b-metric spaces); (2) to collect some relevant bibliography related to this topic; (3) to discuss some other aspects of current interest in the fixed point theory on quasimetric spaces (b-metric spaces)."
