Upgrade StorageExtra comma in APA style: letter or memorandum
APA style generally dictates that a letter or memorandum be cited in the text, but not included in the list of references. However, at our agency, we typically do list technical memos in our reference list.

Smith, J. (2011, December 21). Nomenclature derivatives for a new economy. Memorandum, .

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I went to the Zotero Style Repository page (https://www.zotero.org/styles) and re-installed the "American Psychological Association 6th Edition" style by clicking on "Install".
Now, my citations end without the extra comma and space after the word "memorandum" as shown below:
Smith, J. (2011, December 21). Nomenclature derivatives for a new economy. Memorandum.
Smith, J. (2011). “Nomenclature derivatives for a new economy.” Memorandum, .
Rintze or others, would you be able to fix the ASCE style template like your did for the APA style template?
Or is there an easy way for me to do the fix myself?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
For posterity, the APA and ASCE changes were:
