This article provides a bibliography of the scientific publications of John Beard, DSc (1858-1924). Beard was an English embryologist and cancer researcher of the late 19th and early 20th century, who devised the trophoblastic theory of cancer, a forerunner of today's theory of cancer stem cells. Beard was the author of more than 100 scientific articles and monographs, as well as the book The Enzyme Treatment of Cancer (1911). This is the first bibliography ever compiled of his scientific publications.
