Fill it in
Your topic, results, or draft.
Which class file.
Generate TikZ or pgfplots rather than placeholders.
Look up citations rather than inventing them.
Your prompt
Write this up as a Plain article LaTeX paper. [your subject] It must COMPILE. Run pdflatex (and bibtex) yourself, read the log, fix the errors, and only deliver once you have the PDF in front of you. A .tex file that has never been compiled is a draft with unknown bugs, and the bugs are always in the figures. Draw the figures in TikZ or pgfplots from the real numbers. A placeholder box labelled "figure 1" is not a figure. Look up every citation and use the real bibliographic data. Do not invent a plausible reference: a fabricated citation is the single fastest way to have a paper rejected, and it is indistinguishable from a real one until someone checks. If you cannot find a source for a claim, mark the claim instead of citing. Deliver the compiled PDF, the .tex source, and the .bib.

Why this works
A .tex file that has never been compiled is a draft with unknown bugs, and the bugs are always in the figures. This compiles it, reads the log, and fixes what it finds before handing anything over. It also looks citations up rather than inventing them, which is the fastest way to have a paper rejected.
