Upgrade StorageUSEPA reports - best approach?
I have a large number of USEPA reports that I want to add to my library. These documents are typically cited something like this:
USEPA 2010. Guidance for Implementing the January 2001 Methylmercury Water Quality Criterion. USEPA Office of Science and Technology. EPA-823-R-10-001.
I can enter all the necessary information into my library under a 'report' item type, but there don't appear to be any existing citation styles that could create bibliographies formatted appropriate for these types of reports. Alternatively, it is possible to force the relevant information into the Journal Article format to spit the bibliography out the way I want, but that doesn't seem like the best approach. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Do I have any options other than using the report item type and creating my own citation style? Thanks.

Some citation styles like APA and I believe IEEE will cite report type (usually not number, but some may do that, too). If you need a citation of a report in a specific citation styles and Zotero doesn't create it correctly, report it here and we'll try to fix it decently quickly.
If this is a personal preferences on how to cite reports, yes, you're probably best of creating your own citation style - but it doesn't sound like that's the case.
