Can you exclude issue numbers in references based on APA 6th edition - Issue number?

I'm currently working on my thesis (communication science), and I'm wondering about the issue number in the reference list.

Last year, aA teacher at my university taughttold me that I don't need to include the issue number. But I can't find anything about it, so I wondered if somebody here knows about it.

The current mark-up that I'm using now is as follows (I mainly cite scientific journals):
Lastname1, Initials., & Lastname2, Initials. (Year). Title. Journal name, volume number (issue number), page-page. DOI / Link

Can I exclude the issue number or is imperative to include it?

Thanks in advance ^^.

PS: My thesis is in American English.
