Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "are collaborated by" is generally considered grammatically incorrect in standard English. As Ludwig AI points out, the correct form would typically be "are collaborated with". The intended meaning is to express that something is the result of a collaborative effort. However, due to its grammatical issues, it's better to use alternative phrases like "are supported by" or "are assisted by" to maintain clarity and correctness. While the existing examples suggest the phrase can appear across various contexts such as Science, News & Media, and Formal & Business, its rarity and grammatical incorrectness warrant avoiding it in formal writing.
