Correcting format of references

Question

I need my references to look more pro. At the moment, my references look like this;.

I want them to look more like this without the blue color;

That means removal of the parenthesis and making them appear more compact. I am using the following style \usepackage[backend=bibtex,natbib=true,style=chem-acs]{biblatex}. Here is my preamble;

\documentclass[12pt,danish,a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[journal=rsc]{chemstyle}
\usepackage[section]{placeins}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,natbib=true,style=chem-acs]{biblatex}
\bibliography{ref} 
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{pbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\parskip=0.1in
\begin{document}
Bla bla bla\supercite{Step_1} bla bla bla\supercite{Step_2}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Here is my ref file;

    @article{Step_1,
author = {Yamamoto, Kosuke and Bruun, Theodora and Kim, Jung Yun and Zhang, Lei and Lautens, Mark},
title = {A New Multicomponent Multicatalyst Reaction (MC)2R: Chemoselective Cycloaddition and Latent Catalyst Activation for the Synthesis of Fully Substituted 1,2,3-Triazoles},
journal = {Org. Lett.},
volume = {\textsl{18}},
number = {11},
pages = {2644-2647},
year = {2016},
doi = {10.1021/acs.orglett.6b00975},
URL = { 
        http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.6b00975

},
eprint = { 
        http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.6b00975

}

}

@article{Step_2,
  doi = {10.1055/s-1995-3905},
  url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-1995-3905},
  year  = {1995},
  month = {mar},
  publisher = {Thieme Publishing Group},
  volume = {\textsl{1995}},
  number = {03},
  pages = {290},
  author = {Alicia Torrado and Susana L{\'{o}}pez and Rosana Alvarez and Angel R. de Lera},
  title = {General Synthesis of Retinoids and Arotinoids via Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Boronic Acids with Electrophiles},
  journal = {Synthesis}
}

You can modify the numbers by changing the option biblabel to dot. If you want the references to appear more "compact" you have to adjust the font size by setting \bibfont to \small:

\documentclass[12pt,danish,a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[journal=rsc]{chemstyle}
\usepackage[section]{placeins}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\usepackage[backend=biber,natbib=true,style=chem-acs,biblabel=dot]{biblatex} % <-- Here
\renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\small} % <-- Set font size to small

\addbibresource{ref.bib}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{pbox}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\parskip=0.1in
\begin{document}
Bla bla bla\supercite{Step_1} bla bla bla\supercite{Step_2}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Or even smaller:

\renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\footnotesize}
