The quotation should be placed before the punctuation mark – example:

The term has Latin origin and according to the Oxford Latin Lexicon it means “painstaking, diligent, zealous work / business / activity” (Glare 2012: 977, 978). This definition of the term is quite general and goes beyond the economic explanation of the industry as part of the economy…
