Tidsskriftet Acta Didactica Norden (ADNO) er et nordisk tidsskrift med åpen tilgang. Det har som formål å fremme forskningsbasert kunnskap om undervisning og læring i og på tvers av fag i skolen i de nordiske landene. Tidsskriftet legger vekt på å plassere denne forskningen nasjonalt og nordisk og ta opp problemstillinger av internasjonal betydning. ADNO prioriterer studier som fremmer kunnskap om elever og læreres praksis i klasserommet og på andre læringsarenaer som skolen bruker. Tidsskriftet publiserer bidrag fra forskning på fagdidaktikk i og på tvers av språk-, samfunns- og realfag, samt praktisk-estetiske fag, i grunnskole (folkeskole, grundskola), videregående skole (ungdomsuddanelser, gymnas) og voksenopplæring (VUC/FVU, vuxenutbildning). ADNO utgir artikler på skandinaviske språk og engelsk. Den faglige kvaliteten på bidragene sikres gjennom systematisk fagfellevurdering (peer review) og grundig redaksjonell vurdering. Acta Didactica Norden tar ikke forfatterbetaling. Tidsskriftet tar imot studier bygd på både kvalitative, kvantitative og blandede metoder. Det aksepterer også oversiktsstudier som evaluerer og syntetiserer eksisterende forskning grundig, og som belyser spesifikke empiriske eller teoretiske spørsmål. Bidrag til tidsskriftet forventes å være solid forankret i relevant nordisk og internasjonal forskningslitteratur om undervisning og læring i skolefagene. Det forventes også at bidragene formidler betydelige nye empiriske funn eller ny teoretisk innsikt. For å bli vurdert for publisering må et artikkelmanus gi et vesentlig bidrag til å fremme teori, forskning eller praksis innen det fagdidaktiske feltet.
