Thank you very much to all the responses. Alejandra Maldonado answer the post with the argument that all tables and figures should go in the Results section and very kindly sent me a link to show me that in some journals is a common practice to include tables for comparing results with other studies in original research papers:

Thank you Alejandra to share this. Any thought from the list members on this?
