ACS Style uses a notational method of referencing

http://libguides.murdoch.edu.au/ACS
ACS Style uses a notational method of referencing when referring to a source of information within the text of a document. In its simplest form, a number in superscript format placed in the text of the essay, indicates the relevant reference:

The superscript number appears outside the punctuation if the citation applies to a whole sentence or clause. Citations are numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text and each citation corresponds to a numbered reference containing publication information about the source cited in the reference list at the end of the publication, essay or assignment:

Once a source has been cited, the same number is used in all subsequent references. No distinction is made between print and electronic references when citing within the text. A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should be arranged in the order of citation in the text of the publication, assignment or essay, not in alphabetical order. List only one reference per reference number. It is very important that you use the correct punctuation and that the order of details in the references is also correct. See Reference Formats or All Examples for details on how to construct references for specific resources such as books, journals and web pages.
