Magazine /Journal citations: APA states that if the pagination of each issue is continuous throughout the volume, you don't need to use the issue number.

However, if each issue begins with page 1, then the issue number is needed in the citation. The authors of this tutorial believe that this is a very difficult distinction to make and so we are always using the issue numbers with our examples.
