I want to increase the spacing between the reference key and the text in my bibliography as shown in the picture below:
I'm using Bibtex. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Thank you! First I was irritated since the title of the references thread said "horizontal" but it worked for me. – Dirac May 17 '19 at 20:26

Would you agree to close your question as a duplicate of the one I linked? – leandriis May 17 '19 at 20:27

The title of the linked question is a bit misleading ... I posted the named solution below for users facing the same problem – Dirac May 17 '19 at 20:32

I don't understand why the title of the other question is misleading as the space between the key and the text is a horizontal space. However, if makred as a duplicate, your question will serve as a "signpost" for future visitors having the same (or a similar) question. – leandriis May 17 '19 at 20:37

You're right I was wrong. It's not the title that is misleading but the provided image. The user in the linked thread intended to increase vertical spacing. – Dirac May 18 '19 at 09:01

To show the answer for all:
As referenced by leandriis another thread showed the following solution:
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\leftmargin\labelwidth}{\leftmargin\labelwidth\labelsep=20pt}{}{}
The interesting command is \labelsep=20pt
