As you transition to using the latest 2020 ACS Guide for Scholarly Communication, the links below to the 2006 edition may be helpful to also reference:
When to Use It: Superscript numbering used to be the most commonly used form of in-text ACS citation so you will still see a lot of articles and examples that use superscript. You may be asked to use superscript numbering to demonstrate that you understand it. It is very similar to parenthetical numbering with a few exceptions.
Crick8 hypothesized ...
Ex: Equations have been derived to extract kinetic parameters from these voltammomagrams.2,3
Ex: Other groups have also devised clever ways to utilize this reaction.18-20
All citation examples are from ACS 4.3.2 Creating References. More examples and specific citation scenarios are also addressed in that section.

In Reaxys, the "cited # times" link goes to a tool called SCOPUS. Fort Hays State University does not have full access to SCOPUS but you can see a list of the first 20 results that you can refer to and copy/paste article titles from that list to search using the Library Catalog, Reaxys, or Google Scholar or request via Interlibrary Loan for access.
In ACS Web Editions, scroll all the way to the bottom of the article detail page to find a list of ACS articles by which this article has been cited. Use the DOI links to navigate to the new article.
Google Scholar has a fairly robust indexing of scholarly articles to trace articles that are connected through references (articles that cite this article). Click the "Cited by #" link to view a list of results. If you're on campus, or if you've configured your Google Scholar Search to include Forsyth Library results and access, you'll see "View@FHSU-Forsyth" listed in the access column of the results. Otherwise, you can refer to the list and copy/paste article titles from that list to search using the Library Catalog, Reaxys, or request via Interlibrary Loan for access.
Wiley Publications: How to Find Articles that Cited This Article
For journals published by Wiley, scroll all the way to the bottom of the article detail page to find a list of other articles by which this article has been cited. Use the Crossref or Wiley links to navigate to the new article.
Elsevier Publications: How to Find Articles that Cited This Article
For journals published by Elsevier, click the Citing Articles expanded menu on the right side column of the article detail page to find a brief list of other articles by which this article has been cited. Use the Title/PDF links to navigate to the new article. If you click view more articles, it will take you to SCOPUS which Fort Hays State University does not have full access to, so you'll need to copy/paste any articles from the results list into the library catalog or Google Scholar or request the article via ILL to access to the new article.
