It's the standard problem with issues:

For periodicals in which each issue begins with page 1, include issue information (either the number or the date) in the publication volume field. Issue information is set in roman type, enclosed in parentheses, and spaced from the volume number, which it directly follows.

We can decide that this is sufficiently rare for ACS citations to get rid of it, but it would be more consistent to leave the issue in.

We should also wrap DOI for advanced online pubs in there as per #1723

It's the standard problem with issues:

Ah, I missed that section of the style guide.

We can decide that this is sufficiently rare for ACS citations to get rid of it, but it would be more consistent to leave the issue in.

In favor of the change:

• The ACS style uses DOIs, which (if provided and correct) already uniquely identify articles
• Since ACS accepts submissions in any style, it's clear that they replace references anyway (except, per the other issue, for supplementary info)
• From personal experience, I think it's rather uncommon for journals in the natural sciences to restart page counts with each issue, but I have no numbers on this

Against:

• The ACS style guide highlights another case whether the addition of the issue is probably more important:

For publications that have supplements, the following form is recommended.

Taylor, C. W.; Kumar, S. Eur. J. Cancer 2005, 40 (Suppl. 1), 781.
Eur. J. Anaesthesiol. 2005, 22 (Suppl. S36), 1–35.

I'm not sure how reliably ACS would be able to identify such citations if the supplement info was missing.

Since we haven't gotten any other complaints, let's just leave it in, then.
