Do i put a period after quotation marks?

Nadia Crauswell: you put it before you close the quotationsmeaning:"The dog saw the bone."

Davina Shindler: It depends. Are you quoting someone else? If so, you would put the period after the in-text citation. For example, if I was quoting a statistic from a website, I would say, "1 in 4 teens are in car accidents" (cdc.org). If not, then the period goes inside the quotes.
