Sum-rank metric codes are a natural extension of both linear block codes and rank-metric codes. They have several applications in information theory, including multishot network coding and distributed storage systems. The aim of this chapter is to present the mathematical theory of sum-rank metric codes, paying special attention to the 𝔽_q-linear case in which different sizes of matrices are allowed. We provide a comprehensive overview of the main results in the area. In particular, we discuss invariants, optimal anticodes, and MSRD codes. In the last section, we concentrate on 𝔽_q^m-linear codes.
