For inline citation, the period should be outside the parentheses. You may wish to refer to this website for more information: http://www.nutsandboltsguide.com/quoting.html

I've heard that putting the period inside the parenthesis is the American style and putting it outside the parenthesis is the Continental or European style.

After. It is not like the quotation marks. In those the period is inside.

Example:
