  "abstract": "Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer robust, cost-effective, and highly selective alternatives to fragile biological receptors. Specifically, electropolymerization has emerged as a versatile strategy that enables the precise, in situ formation of uniform MIP films directly on electrode surfaces. This review provides a comprehensive overview of electropolymerized MIPs (eMIPs) supported on advanced carbon-based materials for electrochemical (bio)sensing. We emphasize how the synergistic integration of eMIPs with carbonaceous architectures significantly enhances electron transfer, active surface area, and overall analytical sensitivity. Key fabrication aspects are systematically discussed, including monomer selection, electropolymerization parameters, and efficient template removal. A central aspect of this work is the critical categorization of sensing mechanisms into direct and indirect detection strategies. This distinction elucidates how eMIPs can quantify a broad spectrum of electroactive and non-electroactive targets in complex matrices, while strategically avoiding excessively high applied potentials. Finally, alongside outlining the transition of these systems into portable technologies, we address a critical shortcoming in the current literature: the urgent need for analytical standardization through the rigorous reporting of Imprinting and Selectivity Factors using Non-Imprinted Polymer (NIP) controls.",
