Re-writing abstract for journal

T

Hi all
I want to submit a paper for publication in a journal. I have previously shared the research at a conference and was wondering how closely I can base the paper abstract on the conference abstract without it being considered plagiarism (or maybe I need to completely re-write it and try not to use any of the same sentences).
Any ideas?

You can make it pretty similar in overall content and structure but just reword it so it's not technically plagiarised. I think it's fine to do this because it's usually the way that work submitted to a conference ends up as an article.

Thanks - this sounds good.
