This still seems a fairly broad question, so I'll assume you're already aware of the things to do and things not to do in academia and will concentrate on a general point of writing style based on the defining factor of a doctoral thesis - that you are making an original contribution to knowledge in your field of study.

The original information is the important factor. You will want to make sure this is mentioned in the introduction and conclusion. In choosing your writing style, concentrate on objectivity and the importance of the new information - finding your own voice in expressing details is fine, but if we consider the search for this information to be a story, you're the narrator not the protagonist.

I'm not going to write a list of points, as these are readily available using your question heading in an available search engine. For example :

and, from the perspective of someone assessing theses :
