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,[2] 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,[2] 42 in English and one in Chinese.[1]
The company joined the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) in 2017.[2] They are also a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).[3] All 43 of BPG's journals are members of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).[4]
Baishideng Publishing Group was listed on the 'original' Beall's List of potential predatory open access publishers.[5] The publisher has persisted in being listed at a successor to Beall's List, Stop Predatory Journals.[6] 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.[7]

BPG used the "F6Publishing system" as of 2017, an integrated web-based platform designed by BPG to facilitate the multiple processes, reviews and approvals involved in academic publishing.[2]
