How can I remove the tags before each bibliographic entry in the list (and also remove the paragraph indentation if possible? Also, is the version without the [Author Year] a valid ACM bibliography style at all?

(See image attached please)

My code for the bibliography is this:

\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format-Journals}
\bibliography{library}  

Thanks.enter image description here

    It's always best to provide the community with a complete, minimal working example (MWE). It just makes it easier to start working with towards a solution. Your MWE should start with \documentclass and end with \end{document}.

Assuming your copy of the style file ACM-Reference-Format-Journals.bst is more or less the same as the one I was able to obtain from this GitHub site, you can get rid of the bracketd citation labels by loading the natbib package (in the preamble):

\usepackage{natbib}

To get rid of the handing indentation, use the instruction

\setlength\bibhang{0pt}

You don't mention the document class you use or if you load any packages that perform citation management chores, so this is as far as I can go in giving advice.

My final document preamble (thanks to Mico for pointing me in the right direction)

\documentclass{acm_proc_article-sp}         %ACM template for conference proceedings

\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}                %for special characters

\usepackage{listings}                       %for code sections
\usepackage[square,authoryear]{natbib}      %for bibliography parametrization (inline citations with square brackets and author-year configuration)
\setcitestyle{square,aysep={},yysep={;}}    %remove the comma between author and year from the default inline citation style (from section 2.9 of natbib documentation http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdf)
\let\cite\citep                             % make \cite command behave like \citep

\usepackage{url}                            %\url command
\usepackage[colorlinks=false]{hyperref}     %hide color boxes around links

The bibliography style:

\bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format-Journals}
\bibliography{library}  % library.bib is the name of the Bibliography in this case
