Single quotation marks: punctuation marks outside or inside?

I use single quotation marks to provide translations of foreign terms and to highlight titles of parts of my dissertation.

I'm confused where I should put commas and periods when they appear next to the inverted comma, meaning inside or outside?

Thank you

I would put them inside, but then again I would use italics for this purpose, not quotation marks. – pazzo Sep 21 '14 at 13:13

There are ten related questions in the sidebar. Do none of those answer this question? – Andrew Leach Sep 21 '14 at 13:46
I found only questions about double quotation marks. – EasternRiver Sep 21 '14 at 19:02
