Commas should be outside quotation marks.
Explanation:
Everything what goes inside quotation marks is a part of quotation (or here title). Commas are not parts of the titles. They are only used as a list separator. So they should be outside quotation marks.
Example:
John has read 4 books by Shakespeare: "Hamlet", "Othello", "Romeo and Juliet" and "Macbeth".
