Learn English – Gerund vs noun– which to use in title

gerundsnounstitlesword-choice

This issue of gerunds vs noun always puzzled me and in this particular case made me wonder. I actually am translating my thesis title into English and am not sure as to use gerund or noun. So which one do you think is correct:

  1. development and presentation of the integrated model
  2. developing and presenting the integrated model

I have actually developed the model, if that makes any difference.

It would mean alot to me to make it clear this old question. Namaste 😉

I'll take a guess you say it's a CV you are putting together, am I right?

Context is everything, as is who is writing (you, in this case) and to whom.

I would use a gerund phrase (instead of a noun phrase), as it is you and since it emphasizes the activity (action) rather than the 'topic'.
