The Manual rule states: "When page numbers immediately follow a volume number, separated only by a colon, no space follows the colon. But when parenthetical information intervenes, a space follows the colon. [...] When as occasionally happens, the page number follows an issue number, a comma - not a colon - should be used."
Examples
Volume # only: Social Networks 14:213-219
Volume # only: Social Networks 14 (year): 213-219
Volume and issue #: Critical Inquiry 17 (1): 164-165
