HunarNama has been officially assigned ISSN 3107-2453, a development that gives the online English-language magazine lasting visibility within global bibliographic systems. The new Linking ISSN (ISSN-L) 3107-2453 ensures the publication’s digital identity remains consistent across formats and databases, strengthening the platform’s standing as an authoritative resource on skills and technology.
The ISSN registration followed a thorough international review and places HunarNama within UDC 37 – Education, reflecting its core commitment to pedagogy, vocational reform and human capital development. The recognition confirms editorial and technical compliance with global publishing standards and helps the magazine reach libraries, citation systems and research indexes worldwide.
Founded and guided by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar during his tenure at the National Skills University in Islamabad, HunarNama was created to document, democratize and share knowledge on modern and emerging skill sets. The publication’s main title is presented in the basic Roman alphabet and its editorial work is framed to bridge academia, industry and policy in Pakistan and beyond.
HunarNama ISSN now amplifies reporting on digital skills, vocational excellence, applied sciences, industrial innovation and future-of-work analysis. As automation, artificial intelligence and green technologies reshape labour markets, the magazine continues to emphasise adaptability and lifelong learning while promoting informed debate on TVET reform and workforce transformation.
The formal ISSN assignment enhances discoverability and credibility for contributors and readers, enabling easier indexing by international databases and library catalogues. Recognition by UNESCO-UNEVOC and other international bodies highlights the publication’s role in aligning national skills development with global standards and helps build trust among stakeholders in Pakistan’s technical education ecosystem.
With ISSN 3107-2453 now in place, HunarNama steps further into the international knowledge community as a platform shaping discussion on the fast-evolving technological revolution and its implications for skills policy and practice in Pakistan.
