Baishideng Publishing Group (BPG; Chinese: 百世登出版集团) is a publisher of medical journals based in Pleasanton, California. It was established on January 15, 1993, and originally published only one journal: the Chinese-language Journal of New Digestology (renamed to the World Chinese Journal of Digestology in 1999; 世界华人消化杂志). Its second journal was the World Journal of Gastroenterology, originally launched in 1995 as the China National Journal of New Gastroenterology. As of 2017, the company published 43 journals, 42 in English and one in Chinese.
The company joined the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) in 2017. They are also a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). All 43 of BPG's journals are members of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Baishideng Publishing Group was listed on the 'original' Beall's List of potential predatory open access publishers. The publisher has persisted in being listed at a successor to Beall's List, Stop Predatory Journals. BPG was named in a 2019 cover story of The Walrus as a "junk publisher" alongside Scientific Research Publishing, World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, and OMICS International.
