Using BibTeX, I'm trying to add a DOI 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0118(199902)30:2<71::AID-JGT1>3.0.CO;2-G to my bibliography. However, the presence of the < and > characters causes problems.
Is there a good way to add such a DOI?
I'm using a bibliography style which has been processed with urlbst to support DOI and URL fields. My current workaround is to drop the DOI field. Instead I add a field
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0118(199902)30:2<71::AID-JGT1>3.0.CO;2-G},
which seems to work, but it would be preferable to use the DOI directly.

The actual solution to OP's problem is to encode the < and > signs as their hexadecimal representation:
the "smaller than sign" becomes %3C
the "larger than sign" becomes %3E
If you do this together (!) with using the doi package the links in the bibliography will actually work. More information including other nasty characters can be found here
http://www.doi.org/doi_handbook/2_Numbering.html#2.2
and here
http://www.doi.org/syntax.html
Failing to do this will result in broken links no matter what.
